I'd love to see a photo now that it's been six months if you don't mind sharing?

Are you aware that when you have implants put in you're basically signing yourself up for more surgeries in future to remove and replace them?
I was young and enthusiastic about finally having boobs, like you- and 9 years and 3 kids later I ended up with a ruptured implant (which not many decent surgeons will tell you is a risk) and it's actually very common. (Hopefully yours did)
The task of removal and replacement is now going to be an ongoing cost until I finally decide to explant. And after that ill be left with a flat scar filled chest.

Day three

Hello ladies! Day three and it all still seems surreal! When I touch my new boobies, it still feels like I'm wearing one of my ultra padded bras, because they're still so hard and just don't feel like they're part of me! A very strange sensation!
I have finally mastered my cushion arranging so that I am able to get in and out of bed on my own whilst hubby is away... Two pillows, one rolled up quilt and a cushion all strategically placed to form a gradual slope behind my back :p otherwise it is literally impossible to get out of bed without help.. Do not try it! The straining feels like you are ripping your pectorials open :(

I was feelin very tight yesterday, and still quite tight this morning, however the pain hasn't been too bad (apart from waking up at 4am this morning in pain because I had fallen asleep early and forgotten to wake up for my meds at 11.30pm). After that ordeal, I have promised myself I will religiously set alarms for my meds now.

My right breast seems higher than my left breast, so I'm wary about really trying to keep my compression strap tighter around my right side, but am still unsure as to whether this will actually make a difference. Does the level of effect of the compression strap depend on how tightly you wear the strap across you breast? Or is it merely just to hold your girls down? Any info would be greatly appreciated! :)

I also managed to have a shower last night but decided not to wash my hair, as I think hubby was struggling enough with washing my body... A challenge for tomorrow, I suppose :)

Day one post op

After a terrible night's "rest", I am exhausted and drowsy.. The meds prob don't help either with quite a few of them listing drowsiness as a side effect. I'm taking voltaren rapid 25mg for muscle pain, ondansetron orally disintegrating tablets 4mg for nausea, cephalexin 500mg (antibiotics), tramadol 50mg for breakthrough pain (this drug is amazing!), diazepam 5mg for muscle spasms (also calming and makes you happy) and movicol to prevent constipation and bloating. I spoke to my anesthetist the day before my surgery about my worries regarding constipation and meds which may set off my migraines, and so he was able to prescribe me a course of medication to minimise these issues after surgery... And so far so good- not feeling bloated or sore in my stomach, like I did after my heart surgery, and no migraines.. Yay!
I also went in to see dr Phoon for my follow up, and he said everything is looking good, that I have a lot of upper pole fullness, which was to be expected, and that I need to restrict my movements to that of a robot :) he said to minimise all straining and extending of my arms, and that it's not a matter of trying to work through the pain like in physiotherapy, but letting my muscles relax on their own and beig patient... Which I am definitely not good at! ???? And so starts the waiting game...
My boobs are slightly uneven and seem to be dropping at different rates, which again dr Phoon has said is normal... But overall, I'm pretty happy with the results so far :) cannot wait until they start to drop and fluff though!
